Association of GSK3β Polymorphisms With Brain Structural Changes in Major Depressive Disorder
AssociationN=149Becky Inkster et al.(2009)· Archives of General Psychiatry

A targeted sequencing study of 115 patients with bipolar disorder and depression identified genetic variants in NRG1, PIP4K2A, and HTR2C associated with treatment response and disease severity. The allele C of rs35641374 (NRG1) was associated with longer intervals between depressive episodes (p=4.37e-07), while the allele C of rs10508649 (PIP4K2A) was associated with longer intervals between manic/mixed episodes (p=0.000309) and treatment resistance assessed by CGI-I scale (p=0.000943). The allele A of rs2248440 (HTR2C) was associated with higher depression severity (p=0.003).

Focus on HTR2C: A possible suggestion for genetic studies of complex disorders
AssociationN=149Antonio Drago et al.(2009)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

This targeted sequencing association study of 115 psychiatric patients and 34 controls identifies NRG1, PIP4K2A, and HTR2C as candidate biomarker genes for antidepressant treatment response and mood disorder recurrence. Key findings include rs35641374 (NRG1) associated with longer time to depressive recurrence in bipolar disorder (p=4.37e-07), rs61731109 and rs10508649 (PIP4K2A) associated with antidepressant non-response (p=0.00111 and p=0.000943), and rs2248440 (HTR2C) associated with higher depression severity (p=0.003).

About NRG1

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane glycoprotein that mediates cell-cell signaling and plays a critical role in the growth and development of multiple organ systems. An extraordinary variety of different isoforms are produced from this gene through alternative promoter usage and splicing. These isoforms are expressed in a tissue-specific manner and differ significantly in their structure, and are classified as types I, II, III, IV, V and VI. Dysregulation of this gene has been linked to diseases such as cancer, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder (BPD). [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]
